In March [[2558]], following ''Infinity's'' return to [[Earth]] and Captain Lasky's hearing at the [[UNSC Security Council]], Roland interrupted Lasky's jogging session in ''Infinity'''s memorial park to notify him that [[Orbital Defense Command|Orbital Command]] alerted them of an inbound [[DS-004|diplomatic shuttle]].

Unbeknownst to the bridge crew, the delegation had come under attack by Covenant mercenaries after a traitor had leaked the location of the peace summit. When Lasky managed to reestablish communications, he told all fleets in orbit to direct their ships to the planet in order to save the delegation. The fleets rallied with ''Infinity'' and forced the Covenant mercenaries into retreat.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #3''</ref> | ||
===Freighter ambush and Oth Lodon=== | |||
Following the events on Ealen IV, Captain Lasky left on personal leave to investigate the UNSC mole who leaked the location of the negotiations. Lord Hood remained onboard ''Infinity'' and requested a demonstration of its Forerunner engines. He asked Roland to plot a random vector with multiple headings but before Roland could, they were notified by lieutenant [[Jespersen]] of a distress signal near the [[Artesia-702 system]]. The exercise was scrapped and they went to investigate. Arriving in the system on March 11, they found a damaged civilian [[freighter]], the ''[[Pilgrims Pride]]''. The freighter was tugged into one of ''Infinity's'' bays on Hood's order. An ambush was sprung when the freighter launched multiple assault crafts and set itself to self-destruct. With the help of Fireteams Majestic, [[Fireteam Colossus|Colossus]], and [[Fireteam Fenrir|Fenrir]], the attack was repelled and the freighter was tugged back into space before it could self-destruct on ''Infinity''. Following the skirmish, ''Infinity'''s after action teams discovered that the vessels used by the assailants belonged to a long-lost warship, the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. The crew were having Roland put together a report on the ship, however, Hood told them not to waste their time as he knew all about the ''Spirit''.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #4''</ref> | |||
Shortly after, Roland presented his findings on the freighter to Commander Bradley, Spartan Palmer, and Lord Hood. He found that although the crafts belonged to the ''Spirit of Fire'', the ''Pilgrims Pride'' itself was fairly new in construction. When Commander Bradley inquired about the freighter's flight logs, Roland revealed that the ship's logs had been wiped and filled with false data. However, despite that, he was able to retrieve the real data, coordinates from where it originated: [[Oth Lodon]], a gas giant located deep in Jiralhanae space. With the Spirit's possible location found, Hood ordered a search and rescue mission. ''Infinity'' jumped to the planet's system where it found a [[Oth Lodon station|Covenant space station]] operated by [[New Colonial Alliance]] insurgents. It was then that Captain [[Daniel Clayton]], illegitimate son of Captain [[James Cutter]], revealed himself as the mole and fired on ''Infinity'' with the station's [[energy projector]].<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #5''</ref> | |||
